Pass on the Nd: YAG 1064 if your saphenous vein is refluxing and go with the Endovenous procedure. If your vein is not refluxing and you have bulging veins, go with Ambulatory Phlebectomy. If we are just talking about spider and reticular veins, the choice between the Nd: YAG 1064 and routine sclerotherapy is yours, although the results with sclerotherapy are better and more long lasting.

Both are "Cool" lasers, targeting the water in the vessel walls and cells.
Both are effective in sealing leaking veins which will result in the
decompression of your varicose veins most of the time. The key is to have
adequate fluid placed around the vein to avoid heating the nerves and fat
around the vein. These procedures are best performed under local anesthesia
with only minimal oral sedation in the outpatient office setting. This way
physicians can be sure enough tumescent solution has been placed around the
vein which prevents intra-operative pain and post procedure pain.

I had a laser vein treatment today. The night before the procedure I could not sleep. I had 1 beer and 4 cigarettes. Over the weekend, I also had a few drinks. Will this negatively affect my results? Thank you.

On 18th April 2011, RefineUSA LLC, the makers of VeinGogh, were issued with a warning letter from the FDA instructing them to cease the promotion and marketing of VeinGogh IMMEDIATELY. I was wondering if I can still use veingogh ? or do I have to use Veinwave?

I have large pores, blackhead. An aesthitician used a tool to remove blackheads and sold me Clarisonic and Obagi products. The Pores/blackheads increased in size/number and sudden broken capillaries appeared after 1 week use. Best solution?

I have a deep tissue bruise on my leg just above my ankle that has been there for years. I have done red light therapy at the tanning salon and it has lightened up the bruise, but I want it gone. Do you do anything like that?

I have undergone 5 Cool Glide laser light therapy treatments in my legs for spider veins but I've seen very little improvement. I notice at the back of my left knee the spider veins have gotten worse, and I can even see a large vein appearing. What should I do?

I'm only 16, and I have lots of small veins and redness on my nose and cheeks. Is laser light therapy good for this? Are there any age restrictions, and how much downtime is needed after each procedure?

I have spider veins and more visible thicker veins that are not bumpy but painful nonetheless...my doctor suggested laser therapy and said it would treat both.From what I have read, laser treats spider veins only...is this true?

I had my spider viens lasered, and yet I still have noticable brown marks on several areas still after 8 weeks. Please tell me that this is not permanent! These were the specific veins that prompted me to consider treatment in first place.
